Golf in La Pointe

La Pointe is a small village on Madeline Island in Ashland County, the only town on the largest of the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior. Reached by ferry from Bayfield, the village sits in one of the most remote and picturesque settings in the state, surrounded by the clear waters and dramatic shoreline of the greatest Great Lake. Madeline Island carries deep Ojibwe history and a long heritage as a fur-trade outpost, and today it draws summer visitors to its beaches, its state park, and its quiet island character. Golfers visiting the island find a recreational course set against the backdrop of Lake Superior. With the Apostle Islands surrounding it and Bayfield across the water on the mainland, La Pointe offers a singular base for golf in far northern Wisconsin, on an island in Lake Superior where the lake defines every aspect of the landscape.
